Technical Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of providing a real time solution to an error occurred when a computer is turned on, which enables a BIOS installed in the computer to test all hardware equipment of the computer and record any detected error, and also enables the BIOS to show a solution corresponding to the error on a display connected to the computer through pressing a function key of an input device coupled to the computer while the test is finished.

1. A method of providing a real time solution to an error detected by a BIOS installed in a computer comprising the steps of: (1) causing the BIOS to test all hardware components of the computer when the computer is turned on and detect whether there is an error or not; (2) causing the BIOS to record details of the error; (3) causing the BIOS to determine whether all the hardware components have been tested or not; (4) causing the BIOS to determine whether a key of an input device connected to the computer is pressed or not by detecting a key code generated thereby; (5) causing the BIOS to determine whether the key code is identical to a calling code or not; (6) responsive to the determination in step (5) being affirmative, causing the BIOS to execute a calling procedure to find a first solution corresponding to the error and show the first solution on a display connected to the computer; (7) causing the BIOS to determine whether a key is pressed or not by detecting a key code generated thereby; (8) responsive to the determination in step (7) being affirmative, causing the BIOS to determine whether the key code is identical to a next page code or not; (9) responsive to the determination in step (8) being affirmative, causing the BIOS to determine whether there is a next page in the first solution; (10) responsive to the determination in step (9) being affirmative, causing the BIOS to show the next page; (11) causing the BIOS to determine whether there is a next error or not; and (12) responsive to the determination in step (11) being affirmative, causing the BIOS to find a second solution corresponding to the next error and show the second solution on the display; and (13) if the determination of step (3) is negative causing the BIOS to test the hardware components of the computer and detect whether there is an error or not.
